What if I took all of your advice because it is all good - too good and I am DIGGING it!!!!!! YES - I feel I owe it to you all to at least try. So sadly I am going to share a the bedrooms which make me soooo sad - they are dark and ever so dreary. And then I promise to give you some eye candy back - you have all suffered to much looking at the inside of the new chez moi.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED all of your comments on the Living room - LOVED! And any more you can share on these I would so appreciate!

I wish I was kidding but this is the kitchen - one word OY! I have to paint this white - HAVE to!

Screaming for a makeover! I wish I could paint this white and throw on a drum to cover up the ancient light fixture! PS - Does anyone know where I can find a massive lazy susan - this table is toooooo big I spend all night doing 360's by the time I sit down to et my family is already finished.

I am sharing my rental house with all of you for the next few days and would love to hear any suggestions on how to tweak. It came fully furnished so anything I add is strictly cosmetic since we will live here 1 to 2 years. I already put the brown pillows, the navajo runner and foliage above the fireplace into storage so What to add? Here is what I am thinking - Cool green pillows, and I must find cushions for the two chairs since the ones on there are striped - What type of chairs are these - does anyone know? Help

To not just create an iconic space but to live an iconic life - is a personal goal one that I don't have the energy for right now :). But the true question is if you actually could live in an iconic house would you want to?

I went to my friends house the other day and I have to say she has the sexiest bedroom I have ever seen.
Here are a few that make me feel naughty :)

Fashion is a lot like decorating the matchers always want to be mixers but the mixers would NEVER be caught dead being matchers. Mixing is hard - putting two things together that clash and work is a talent ! I have an equal love between matching and mixing - Where do you stand on this?

Some Mixing I appreciate.Jason Oliver Nixon, and decorator John Loecke's home Via Country Living

When I asked who THE BEST COLORIST in LA was, one name kept coming up - A List Colorist Jonathan Gale with clients like Charlize, Sandra, Penelope, Keri Russel and Diane Keaton I figured why not ... so glad I did!!!!!!

This really Shows you how his work moves as you do when you stand in front of the piece it looks flat and as you sway from side to side it starts to move. This video above is poor quality but in 5 seconds gives you perspective.

How can I possibly describe the emotion I felt when I looked at Patrick Hugh's painting hanging in my friends home. I had to walk back and fourth at least 50 times and yet it never changed - the perspective made me delightfully dizzy and moved me beyond. The problem is in a flat still photo you could never possibly imagine the experience but video can capture it. Enjoy below. Oh how I dream of owning one ....If money were no object what artists work would you like to hang on your wall? I love these videos of the artist describing his work - heaven!
